Ecma Office Open XML (Open XML) is an international, open standard for word-processing documents, presentations, and spreadsheets that can be freely implemented by multiple applications on multiple platforms. Microsoft, in cooperation with other IVA members and partners, put Open XML to the test in real-world business scenarios at the IVA Open XML Interoperability Lab. The tested solutions demonstrated the interoperability of Open XML files across a wide range of applications on mixed platforms. Open XML lets the data inside of documents be tagged for queries; at the same time, it makes them compatible and editable by many applications across operating systems and platforms. In this collection of use cases, we demonstrated these aspects of Open XML documents.

Lab Scenarios
The solutions being tested demonstrate the interoperability of Open XML files across a wide range of applications on mixed platforms. Three scenarios are being tested to demonstrate the interoperability of Open XML:

  • Authoring: Multiple client applications running on different platforms are being tested to demonstrate the interoperability of Open XML through translation to other formats like Open Document Format, or ODF.
  • Viewing and Publishing: Document interoperability is being tested on mobile devices and other client applications that open and preview files.
  • Business Process Integration: Complex workflows are being tested using server applications that can embed their own schema to read and write data, and applications to create, index, archive or dynamically update documents.
